UCLA

UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) is a great school, with nationally ranked academics, a fun, active atmosphere, and a beautiful campus. There is plenty to do in the surrounding LA area but also many great events right on campus. 35,000+. Many are commuters. Located in posh Westwood, in the westside of Los Angeles. Offers undergraduate and post-graduate degrees. Professors are required researchers. Not a party school by any means. Greek system is there but not a “frat” school.

Here is what recent graduates and current students have to say about UCLA, including great tips and advice:

Things to know - UCLAProfessors.com – This is the site that provides professor rankings on numerous criteria. Use this site to pick your classes.
Party night is Thursday. After Thursday, everybody goes home and the weekends are largely dead.
Bars are very strict on IDs. I suggest getting into the Greek system, that way you’ll have something to do besides apartment parties at night.
Movie premieres happen all the time in Westwood Village. If you are into star-gazing, check them out.
UCLA Recreation is more than the Wooden Center – they offer outside activities like hiking, surfing, sailing, etc offsite.
Best Pizza – BJ's Pizza, on Broxton.
Italian Express, on Lindbrook.
LaMonica's NY on Gayley.
CPK, on Weyburn. Enzo's – Weyburn. THEY ALL DELIVER EXCEPT CPK.
Best Sushi – Tomodachi – Weyburn. Good sake bombing too.
Tengu – very “LA” sushi, rather pricey for the “going out” crowd. Lindbrook Ave.
Sushi Isshin – Lindbrook
